Study with a Curriculum that Gets Results
MCAT Summer Intensive delivers over 320 hours of instruction that combines content review, exclusive test-taking strategies, and personal attention to deliver powerhouse results. You will:
- Build a rock-solid science foundation with
comprehensive science review lectures that build mastery of
science concepts.
- Learn time-tested, score-raising
strategies in effective, small-group recitations.
- Focus in on your needs during
private tutoring sessions designed to concentrate your efforts
on the areas in which you need the most work.
- Master the computer-based format so Test Day is spent focusing on the content, not learning the ins-and-outs of the computer interface.
You won't find this unique combination anywhere else.
Academic Support
Our program is fast-paced and rigorous, so it's important to keep up with your coursework. Even the best students can find themselves stretched to their limits here, so to help you meet the challenge, we offer plenty of workshops, tutors, and advising services.
Guidance
One of the ways that we make sure you stay on track with your program is through regular meetings with your mentor. During these meetings, you will review your progress in class and on homework assignments and get personalized recommendations on how to make the most of your study time. Your mentor will also be available for specific questions about course content, test day and the admissions process.
Workshops
Workshops are offered throughout the program to help you polish your academic skills and go deeper in specific areas. Previous workshops have delved into great detail on topics such as airplanes (fluid dynamics, hydrostatics, and kinematics), simple machines (inclines, pendulum, and pulleys), light and optics, and reading for speed and comprehension. The skills, insights, and shortcuts taught will prove very useful as you prepare for the MCAT.

Pre-Program Work
Once enrolled in Kaplan's MCAT Summer Intensive Program, your personalized MCAT plan is set in motion. We will immediately ship your student materials and initiate your access to Kaplan's outstanding online study center. After you receive your materials, a Kaplan MCAT Summer faculty member will contact you via phone to plan how you'll maximize your time before the program begins to reinforce MCAT science content. They will also complete your Kaplan Summer Learning Profile to determine your learning styles and habits, familiarity with content, academic background etc. This information is then used to match you with the right Recitation and Tutoring instructor.
